Hi, im a new member and also a new owner of 1000RR and the bike is a lovely bike but i have one problem. im a wheelie guy and whenever i do wheelie the bike cuts out.

On your left hand control is a button for the DTC/ABS... turn the DTC off

Do you have ABS rings on your wheels?

Slick mode won't let you sit at the balance point if you have DTC... The OP, says it "cuts out".

OP, assume now that you do not have DTC or ABS, is that correct? If that is the case, it sounds like something else. Seems like the tip over sensor should kill the bike totally but you might check that to ensure it's still in the perch.

Can you confirm your bike does not have DTC? Does Slick mode allow longer wheelies?

If you have no DTC, you have no anti-wheelie. Sounds like you're trying to get to the "balance point" on the rear wheel. Have you had the tank off or anything... wondering if it's having a fuel problem of some sort that is cutting out with that type of angle? Shouldn't be happening... but Wheelie control is only if you have DTC.

You could try removing the drop sensor under the rider's seat
